When the Tang State attacked most of Jiangxi and cleaned up the golden ou, the small court of Zhao and Song in Guangzhou City had reached the last moment.

Even the more than 100,000 people in Guangzhou City know that they can't even hold on for half a month.

The Great Song Dynasty, which was finally resurrected, is it going to be finished again?

The soldiers and civilians of the city, whether they were locals, Hakka people, or Yao and She people, were immersed in fear.

The army of more than 100,000 troops of the Tartar general Zhang Hongfan had already besieged the city of Guangzhou, and attacked it in turn for several days, and the defenders in the city suffered heavy casualties.

Everyone knows what it will mean once the city of Guangzhou is broken and the Tartars enter the city.

A lot of people will die, a lot of people will die.

They still remember the plot of the capture of Guangzhou by the Yuan army many years ago, and they simply dare not look back. It's been less than ten years, is it going to face this human catastrophe again?

God, when is it a head? How long will the Tartars be arrogant?

The whole city was in a miserable situation, and everyone was in fear all day.

The former Guangdong Road Governor's Mansion, which was changed to the Imperial Palace, was even more gloomy. Whether it is Zhao Liangchao of the Zhao official family, Lin Guifang, a military important person in Pingzhang, or Li De, the privy envoy, and all the civil and military generals, they all have a bleak expression.

Even the newly decorated luxurious court hall could not dilute the sad atmosphere of the main hall.

Zhao Liangchao, who is only twenty-five or sixteen years old, seems to have gray hair.

Suddenly, a military general stood up and said: "Official, the only way to do this is to break through to the east, go to Fujian, and join forces with Li Jie, the king of Fujian, to fight against Mengyuan." ”

This person's name is Luo Tan, a native of Lianjiang County, Tingzhou Road, Fujian, born in a Hakka family, and the county Wangtang is called "Yingchuan Hall".

Hakka is a Han immigrants in the Central Plains, ancestor worship is more important than worshipping gods, and the family genealogy ancestral hall is important, and the customs abide by Chinese traditions. Nowadays, Tingzhou, Meizhou, Huizhou, Ganzhou and other places have Hakka people living together, each with their ancestral lineage as their hall name. And especially the Hakka people in Tingzhou are the most powerful.

In the fifteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan rewarded the six prefectures and counties of Tingzhou Road to his daughter the princess of Lu State, Nangjiazhen, as a territory, and sent the princess's retainers to manage it. The 50,000 Hakka and She Yao households in Tingzhou have all become serfs of the princess of Lu, and the state and county officials are not allowed to intervene.

And the princess's retainers levied violently, knocked out the bones and sucked the marrow, and provoked the feudal people to resist. The Hakka Luo clan, the She Zhong clan, and the Yao clan Lan clan joined the gathered clan soldiers to resist, and used the tulou enclosure house as a base to resist the Yuan soldiers, but they were all suppressed.

However, due to the oppression of the Mongol aristocracy, the revolt did not stop.

At the end of last year, after Zhao Liangchao raised troops, Tingzhou and Meizhou, Huizhou's Hakka, Shejia, and Yaojia responded one after another, and attached themselves to Zhao Liangchao, which made the strength of the "Song Army" rise sharply, and won consecutive battles in less than a month, occupied the entire Guangdong Road, recruited troops, and gathered for a time, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the momentum was huge.

After Zhao Liangchuan officially ascended the throne and became emperor in Guangzhou, he was appointed as the commander and envoy of the Hakka Luo's Haojie Luo Yan, the Shejia Haojie Zhongzhang, and the Yaojia Haojie Lan Di.

The elite of the Song army, all of them are Hakka, She people, and Yao people, all of whom are martial artists with the township party clan as the link, strong cohesion, and fierce fighting, so the sharp edge of the Song army once made the Yuan army invincible, and the situation was very good.

But just when the Song army was preparing to conquer Fujian in the east, the man who had written proudly in Yashan "Zhang Hongfan, the general of the Yuan Zhen Kingdom, destroyed the Song Dynasty here", came again.

Zhang Hongfan led an army of more than 100,000 and threatened to destroy the Song Dynasty once, and he could destroy the Song Dynasty a second time. He even arrogantly wrote to Zhao Liangchao, saying, "Since I come south, you will die." But there is Hongfan, and there is no Zhao Song. The Duke of Yingguo can still eat Yuanlu in Dadu, and you will eventually add an axe to the city. ”

How incredible!

Zhao Liangchuan was furious when he read it, so he took Lin Guifang as the general, commanded an army of 200,000, and fought a decisive battle with Zhang Hongfan in Meizhou.

Although Zhang Hongfan is a big traitor, he is a famous general of Mengyuan after all, and his ability to fight is not ambiguous. The soldiers and horses he commanded were also the elite of the Southern Yuan Army, how could Lin Guifang be his opponent?

As a result, the Song army was defeated, and Meiling and Shaoguan all fell into the hands of the Yuan army.

Then the Song army was defeated in successive battles, lost all the prefectures and counties, and finally had to be trapped in Guangzhou, relying on the high walls and deep trenches of Guangzhou City, as well as enough food, to hold for three months.

Today, the Song army has only 60,000 tired soldiers left, with low morale and insufficient armor. The city was also damaged in many places, and the moat was also filled in by the Yuan army.

The siege of the Yuan army became more and more fierce day by day, almost everyone in the Song army in the city was wounded, and the young people who assisted in defending the city also suffered heavy casualties, and they could still hold on for a few days?

"Luo Qing, it's too late to break through now. The fortified city of Guangzhou is still not guaranteed, once the city is immediately in place, how can it escape the pursuit of the Tartar cavalry? Zhao Liangchao said with a sad face, the red dragon robe on his body was tailor-made, and it originally fit very well, but now it is "getting wider".

Zhong Zhang, the commander of the capital and Sheren, stood up and said angrily: "Official, it's better to fight hard in Kaicheng and fight to the death with Zhang Hongfan, than to sit and wait for death in this broken city!" ”

Yao General Lan Di also said: "That's it! Death is death, and it will be done if you kill Zhang Hongfan! ”

Lin Guifang, an important military affairs in Pingzhang, and Zhao Liangchao glanced at each other, both with bitter eyes.

Spelled? It's easy to say.

How can these 60,000 exhausted and demoralized soldiers and horses fight with the hundreds of thousands of wolf-like Yuan troops outside the city? But he just dies faster.

Zhao Liangchao is no longer thinking about the future of the Great Song Dynasty, let alone the future of the Han family. He was worried about...... Your own fate!

Thinking of his fate, this Zhao Guanjia was cold.

What to do!

Even if you surrender, you can't survive. Zhang Hongfan said it very clearly.

Once captured by the Yuan army, the best outcome is beheading, right? Don't even think about decapitation, it's mostly Ling Chi.

Thinking of this, Zhao Liangchao's legs and stomach trembled.

Ling Chi... How much does that hurt?

Thinking of his ascension to the throne and proclamation as emperor half a year ago, the people's thoughts were Song, and the scenery where people gathered, I was really proud and full of ambition at that time!

He is really going to restore the Great Song Dynasty, and the ancestors and ancestors must be very gratified. He even thought of his temple number: Song Shizu!

Thinking of this temple number, he can wake up with a smile in his dreams.

But in just half a year, he was trapped in a dangerous city, and the day was precarious.

What is the use of the people's minds and songs? What's the use! If you still can't beat the Tartars, you still have to die!

Zhao Liangchao thought about these things blankly, sat on the dragon chair in a trance, and couldn't even listen to what the civil and military ministers said.

When Lin Guifang saw the emperor's appearance, his heart was also cold.

After all, I was defeated.

Dozens of monarchs and ministers sat down and worried, there was nothing to do, and they were in a posture of sitting and waiting to be killed.

Even the She Yao general, who has always been brave, is also depressed at this time.

…………

The Yuan army camp outside the city is majestic. More than 100,000 troops once again packed out of the camp, and in the midst of the hustle and bustle, a team drove to the city, ready to launch a siege battle.

These days, the Yuan army attacked the city every day, consuming the troops in the city. Judging from the resistance of the puppet Song thief army, in ten days at most, the city of Guangzhou will fall.

A huge black horsetail Sulu ingot Daxu stands at the west gate of Guangzhou, surrounded by Sensen soldiers and armor, and it is the general of Pingnan who is riding a black horse: Zhang Hongfan.

Zhang Hongfan was dressed in gorgeous white armor, squinting his eyes and looking at Guangzhou City lightly.

Guangzhou City is indeed a fortified city, the pseudo-Song Dynasty has no way out, and the resistance is very stubborn, but so what?

They had no strength and couldn't hold out for long. Based on his experience, he was sure that he would be able to break through the city within half a month.

He has beaten down the Japanese country, not to mention Zhao Liangchao, the remnant of the Song Dynasty.

"Herald, siege! After the city is broken, the knife will not be sealed for three days! Zhang Hongfan ordered.

"Wow!" The herald commanded loudly, and he gave the order to attack the city.

But at this moment, suddenly a horse from the north came galloping, and at first glance it was a detective post with military intelligence.

Zhang Hongfan frowned, stopped the order to siege the city, he wanted to hear what the outpost said.

The sentry was sweating profusely and galloped in front of him, flew down and bowed, and bowed forward by inertia: "General! Seven days ago, Marshal Wan Zhedu and the traitor Li Luo fought under the city of Hongdu, and Wan Zhedu was wiped out and killed by the rebels. Li Luo not only occupied Hongdu, but also sent troops out, at this time should occupy the north of Shaoguan! ”

What the? Zhang Hongfan was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but whip it over, "What are you talking about!" Say it again! ”

When the sentry repeated the side, Zhang Hongfan was suddenly a little confused.

Wanzhedu was wiped out? Li Luo has occupied the north of Shaoguan?

"How many soldiers and horses are there in Jiangxi!" Zhang Hongfan asked again.

The detective replied: "General, it is estimated that there will be no less than 100,000, and it is said that the firearms are very sharp, and the Mongolian heavy cavalry is difficult to resist!" Moreover, there seems to be a transfer of troops and horses in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and now there may be more rebels in Jiangxi. ”

Zhang Hongfan snorted coldly, "What a Mergenbadu!" Yours is it! I really underestimated you. ”

In fact, he has always looked down on Li Luo. Although Li Luo had conquered the sun and destroyed Vietnam before, Zhang Hongfan always thought that Li Luo was just lucky, relying on good fortune to fight, and his real skills were not very good.

After Li Luo rebelled, he also thought that Li Luo would soon be defeated and die, and laughed at the world.

Also, Li Luo was only in his twenties, but he had already been crowned the Duke of Yue at that time, and like him, the Duke of Qi, it was no wonder that he could be convinced.

But now, Zhang Hongfan understands that Li Luo definitely does not rely on luck.

Li Luo, as a Han Chinese, pretended to be a Goryeo to deceive the imperial court, secretly accumulated great strength overseas, and plotted to rebel. Just this forbearance and means are definitely the genus of heroes.

He raised troops for just over two months, and he simply occupied Jiangsu and Zhejiang, sealing the river and locking the sea with the power of the navy, and isolating the north and south. How many people can have this courage?

Now that he has broken into Jiangxi and destroyed Zhedu in Hongdu, how many people have this ability?

He really deserves to be a famous general in the past!

Wan Zhedu is also a good general, with 30,000 iron horsemen under his command, his strength is so strong, but the whole army is wiped out!

The strength of the rebels is so strong, so do you still need to think about it?

Such a person is much more difficult to deal with than Zhao Liangchao, Huang Hua and others. How dare Zhang Hongfan look down on him?

"Li Luo occupies the north of Shaoguan, Wanzhe has been destroyed, Happy has also been destroyed, and the situation in the southeast is very bad!" Zhang Hongfan hated and whipped in the air.

Do you want to continue the attack on Guangzhou?

Although Guangzhou could not hold for half a month, Li Luo had already occupied the north of Shaoguan, and the rebels were still mobilizing troops, and it was estimated that they would soon go south.

He had already guessed Li Luo's intentions, and after destroying the power of Zhedu, he went south to destroy himself while the Huguangyuan army was still dealing with Xiao Yin.

Then, when the vast army of Huguang freed up, the rebels were not afraid.

If the rebels come to Guangzhou, the morale of the thieves in the city will be greatly boosted, and under the internal and external attacks, they will most likely follow in the footsteps of Zhedu.

If he is defeated, Zha Yinnan in Fujian will also be defeated, and then the entire southeast will fall into the hands of the rebels!

Therefore, Guangzhou City can no longer fight. He had to be steady.

He must lead the army north, hold Shaoguan, first block the rebels who are sharp in the front of the army, and wait until Huguang's Kudu Timur destroys Xiao Yin, and Fujian's Zha Yinnan destroys Li Jie, and the three parties join forces to destroy the rebels together.

He was keenly aware that he would rather let Zhao Liangchuan go for the time being than ignore Li Luo. Zhao Liangchao escaped the first year of junior high school, but he couldn't escape from the fifteenth, and sooner or later he couldn't escape from his palm. But Li Luo is different, this person is becoming more and more dangerous, and he is by no means comparable to Zhao Liangchao.

"Herald! Withdraw troops to Guangzhou! ”

Zhang Hongfan didn't think about it for long, and gave the order to withdraw the troops.

…………

"Official! Official! Suddenly, a surprised voice interrupted the sorrow of the monarchs and ministers.

"Who is making a noise outside the temple! So bold! Zhao Liangchan was immediately angry, and subconsciously wanted to punish the person who made a loud noise.

But the man still shouted to the temple, "Official! The Yuan army withdrew, the Yuan army withdrew! ”

What the?!

Zhao Liangchao stood up suddenly, "What did you say?" The Yuan army withdrew? Why! ”

The man was a general guarding the city, and he quickly knelt down and said, "I... The minister didn't know why, but the Tartars just withdrew, and they withdrew cleanly, and the hundreds of thousands of troops all went north. ”

"My minister thought that the Yuan army would turn back, but after waiting for an hour and not returning, the minister sent people out of the city to follow, so I was sure that it was really withdrawn."

Really withdrawn!

Zhao Liangchao suddenly showed ecstasy, "Something big happened in the north!" Zhang Hongfan can't take care of us anymore! Well, it must be! ”

What is the big deal, what kind of person can force Zhang Hongfan to rather give up his previous efforts and lead the army to retreat north?

He besieged Guangzhou for several months, and he was about to defeat it, so why did he withdraw his troops?

Lin Guifang said: "The official, the minister guesses, isn't it Huang Hua, the king of Wu, who has already defeated the Zhedu and led the army south?" ”

Luo Jian shook his head and said: "Pingzhang official, it is still difficult for Huang Hua to protect himself, where can he defeat Zhedu?" It should be something else. ”

They didn't even think of Li Luo.

Because they still don't know about the big event of Li Luo's army.

They were trapped by Zhang Hong's scope for three months, isolated from internal and external news, and did not know that Li Luo had raised troops to occupy Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

"Get out of town and ask! What the hell is going on! Zhao Liangchao hurriedly sent someone to inquire.

It wasn't until three days later that Zhao Liangchao learned what had happened.

Li Luo rebelled!

He proclaimed himself the Duke of Tang Guo, had already occupied Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and soon advanced to Jiangxi, killing the Tartar general Wan Zhedu.

Today, hundreds of prefectures and counties north of Shaoguan, as well as the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang, are occupied by Li Luo.

And Zhang Hongfan hurriedly withdrew his troops, which should have prevented the Tang army from moving south.

After Zhao Liangchao learned the news, he was speechless for a long time.

Lin'an, that's his old capital! Now it is actually occupied by Li Luo!

"Tell me, if I write a holy decree and make Li Luo the king of Jiangxi and serve the Great Song Dynasty, will he be edicted?"

Zhao Liangchao said without confidence.

The civil and military officials looked at each other, but they couldn't be sure.

Why are the princes and ministers of the small court so naïve? Because Li Luo did not claim the title of king.

Defeated Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they didn't claim the king, obviously they were scrupling about something, could it be that they were thinking of the orthodoxy of the Great Song Dynasty in their hearts?

They hadn't seen Li Luo's writings, and if they did, they wouldn't have been so naïve.

"Official, the minister thought he could give it a try. He was named the king of Jiangxi, and if he accepted it, he would let him be escorted by King Qin and welcome the official family back to Lin'an, so that the homeland of the Great Song Dynasty could be passed on! Lin Guifang said.

Zhao Liangchao nodded, and said in a good mood: "Okay, then I will crown Li Luo as the king of Gan!" My Great Song Dynasty does not lightly seal the king with a different surname, but I hope that Li Luo will be loyal and live up to my will to be the king. ”

He is a real Zhao and Song Dynasty clan, and the Great Song Dynasty has been in the country for more than 300 years, so he has long thought that the country is his Zhao family from the bottom of his bones, and the Great Song Dynasty is orthodox. Even if he only has one city left, it is orthodox.

Li Luo supported the Great Song Dynasty and was loyal to himself, isn't that right?

In fact, not only did he think so, but his courtiers thought so, and even many scholars and ordinary people thought so.

Therefore, it is definitely not that Zhao Liangchao Junchen is naïve. If it weren't Li Luo, but a different person, accepting the title of King of Gan, the possibility of being loyal to Zhao Song was still very great.

Han Xian's imperial capital is like that, isn't the ambitious Cao Cao also serving the Han family for many years, and he is still a Hanchen until his death?

He Zhao Liangchuan at least has his own team, at least 60,000 soldiers and horses, and a city, right? Isn't it much stronger than Emperor Han Xian?

This is also where Zhao Liangchao is stronger than Li Luo.

It took Li Luo five years to accumulate more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. But Zhao Liangchan didn't do anything at all, and there were a lot of anti-Yuan righteous people who came to take refuge. He fought together, and at the beginning it was really a gathering of applicants, and the banners of the Great Song Dynasty were sold, asking for money and money, and asking people to send people, that is, the traitor army, and many of them changed their banners to the Song Dynasty.

This is the appeal of the dynasty for more than 300 years. After all, it has been less than ten years since the fall of Zhao Song, and the people's hearts are really thinking of Song. The vast majority of people are accustomed to the rule of the Song Dynasty and feel that it is natural for the Zhao official family to sit in the world again.

…………

Zhang Hongfan came to Shaoguan, climbed high and looked into the distance, and sighed: "The fertile soil on the right side of the river is actually based on Li Luo. ”

The news that Zhang Hongfan withdrew from the siege of Guangzhou and went north to Shaoguan was known to Li Luo a few days later.

"This person is not easy to deal with!" Li Luo said to Mrs. Xu, "He was willing to give up Guangzhou and rushed to Shaoguan and Meiling to set up defenses!" In this way, our army will have to change its plans. ”

Zhang Hongfan did not guess wrong, Li Luo did plan to mobilize troops and horses to go south and destroy him under the city of Guangzhou.

Because Li Luo received information, the Tusi barbarians of the Yuan court, the Yunnan army, and even the Annan Yuan army began to mobilize.

There are too many enemies.

He had to change his mind and save Zhao Song first, so as not to let this flag fall too early.

Li Luo's plan was to destroy Zhang Hongfan first, lose the Guangdong Road to Zhao Song, let Zhao Song properly restore his strength, and attract the firepower of Yunnan Province and the Yuan army of Annam.

Then, the Tang army concentrated its efforts on destroying the main force of the Huguang Yuan army of Kudu Timur. Finally, they dealt with the Yuan army in Yunnan, Sichuan, Annam and other places.

Since he entered Jiangxi, it was impossible for him to treat Jiangsu and Zhejiang as a battlefield anymore, but simply pushed the battlefield outside Jiangsu and Zhejiang, took the initiative to attack, and annihilated each one.

Therefore, during this time, Li Luo transferred another 50,000 soldiers and horses from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, making the number of Tang Army veterans in Jiangxi more than 120,000, and even Wen Tianxiang was also transferred. And in the huge Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there are only 40,000 veterans.

However, Zhang Hongfan did not give a chance, and did not even fight a decisive battle with the Tang army, but guarded Meiling Shaoguan.

Obviously, he was waiting for Kudu Timur to eliminate Xiao Yin, and then came to suppress him.

That's the scary thing about a celebrity. Even if you have a lot of money in your hand, you should still be cautious when you are cautious, and never be greedy for merit.

He obviously has an army of more than 100,000 and is completely capable of fighting Li Luo, but he "humbly" chooses to defend. Such an enemy is more difficult to deal with than Wan Zhedu.

Chen Shuzhen said: "Zhang Hongfan's army of more than 100,000 is guarding Meiling Shaoguan, and it is difficult for my Tang army to take advantage of it. But he can't withdraw the troops, otherwise Zhang Hongfan will leave Shaoguan and go straight to Ganzhou! His trick seems simple, but it is really difficult to crack. ”

Li Luo stood up and looked at the map, "Ganzhou Qingxiang has not yet been completed, recruits are still being recruited, strong enemies are on the side, strong and strong are not dead, and the outnumbered army cannot be withdrawn." But you can't spend so much effort with Zhang Hongfan. ”

"Zhang Hongfan has 20,000 cavalry, 90,000 Han troops, 20,000 Tusi barbarian soldiers, a full 130,000 army! So many soldiers and horses, but willing to defend. Huguangyuan's army still has 150,000 or 60,000. If the two armies merge and there are nearly 300,000 troops, our army will not be able to fight. ”

"Therefore, we must deal with Zhang Hongfan first, and destroy this Yuan army before the Kudu Timur arrives. Our army is now in the north of Shaoguan, gathering 100,000 soldiers and horses, this army does not move, and confronts Zhang Hongfan. And then..."

Wen Tianxiang said with a smile: "Your lord's policy is also what Weichen thinks. Now that the training of the new army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has been two months, it is worthy of a war, and the people are enthusiastically supporting our Tang Dynasty, and it is completely possible to use new recruits to garrison all over the country, and 40,000 veterans can all be transferred. ”

Li Luo's eyes were shining, and he used a folding fan to Fujian, "There is also this move, it has been buried for so long, it is time to move this time." ”

Chen Shuzhen smiled and said: "The king's shot is really extraordinary. This time, Zhang Hongfan ......"

Wen Tianxiang suddenly thought of something, "Your Majesty, today is the first day of the seventh month, but the ninth day of the seventh month set by the monarch is called the king's ceremony." Is it business as usual now? ”

Li Luo shook his head: "Postpone it, the plan is better than a change, there must still be a war on the ninth day of the seventh month." When this battle is over, it is not too late for the widow to claim the throne again. ”

On the same day, a secret letter went out of Jiangxi and went straight to Lin'an.

Cui Xiuning received Li Luo's secret letter, opened it and read it, then found the map, and his finger couldn't help but point to Fujian.

"Here, that's the key to this battle. The knife in ambush should be unsheathed. Cui Xiuning found another book of information and turned out a few names. Then Ling Yan Chan called Li Zhi.

"Teacher." Li Zhi came in, "Please show the teacher." ”

Cui Xiuning said: "Can the knife in Fujian be unsheathed at any time?" Is there a chance of an accident? ”

Li Zhi replied: "Teacher, rest assured, nothing goes wrong." ”

Cui Xiuning nodded: "Okay, then let's execute it as planned." ”

"No!" Li Zhi took the order.

Cui Xiuning sat down and thought for a while, while taking out a pen and writing and drawing on the paper for a long time, and issued two secret orders overnight.

The Secret Inspectorate, which was becoming more and more terrible, immediately began to operate in full force for the next war.

At this time, Li Luo, who was in Ganzhou (Jiangxi Province), received a "holy decree"!

ps: That's all for tonight, good night friends, begging for subscriptions, tickets. Crab crab support!!
